Many Slain in Riots at Lodz. St. Petersburp: special: The picture of Lodz s "Black Friday fully as appalling as bt. A etersburg's eventful January Sunday, is painted in the reports which are filtering into St. Petersburg with painful slowness. The number of dead and jounued is unknown and the estimates differ very widely." An account taken to Warsaw by courier gives "several handred working people and sixty soldiers as the number killed Friday, while a dispatch direct from Lodz savs that twenty persons were killed outright, forty died from their wounds, and 1G5 wounded arsons were taken to hospitals. The dispatch admits that there wre other casualties of which the society for the care of injured have no cognizance, and it is thought that a correct estimate is probably somewhere between tht-se two accounts. Steamboats in Collision. Detroit (Mich.) special: In a collision between the steamers City of Home, bound up, and the Linden, bound down, near Lashmoo Park, both were sunk.

MRS. HOOSEVELT'S NEW

SUMMER HOME IN VIRGINIA. Mrs. Roosevelt's summer home in Albemarle county, Virginia, was a part of the beautiful Springfield farm owned by W. N. Wilmer of New Y'ork.

This dwelling, by Mrs. Roosevelt's order, has had a rock chim ney added to it and a porch has been built around the dwelling. All the par titions on the lower floor have been re moved, making one large room. Mrs. Roosevelt bought the property so that when she wishes a week or so of rest she can go to the little retreat among the irginia mountains. LOCUSTS RAVAGE THE WHEAT. Many Fields Swarm with 17-Year De stroyers of Vegetation. jlwj j. i -year locust nas appeared in sortte parts of the country and is doing a great deal of damage to the wheat fields, orchards and forest trees. Ac cording to their peculiar habit they come in the night to the surface of the ground from their subterranean caverns, where they have been maturing ;ind slumbering for the last seventeen years. The ground beneath the trees is parforated like an immense colander with the holes from which they emerged. Soon after emerging from the ground the locusts shed their underground over coats, leaving the trunks of the trees studded with the dry and brittle garment of yellowish hue. Scientists say the eggs from which this brood was hatched were laid on the leaves of the trees seventeen years ago. The eggs remained where they were deposited for three years, when the cicadas were hatched and the new born insect burrowed downward into the ground. Here, beside the roots of trees, the insects dwelt until this year, when they sallied forth in numberless quanti ties, dnvng the farmer almost to ruin in their ravages. The locusts after flying about for a few days, feeding oa the vegetation, attach themselves to the under side of the leaves on the trees. Here the female deposits her eggs. The cicadas have three deadly enemies in this country the. despised. English sparrow, digger wasp and the ants. At present the innumerable locusts are filling the air with their sonorous, monotonous and doleful song. The farmers are spraying their orchards with prepared mixture of kerosene. Out on the prairie farms the insects threaten destruction to the growing crop. The sparrows have come in countless thousands to the aid of the farmer. Robins and wild birds find the locust palatable eating. The sparrows' method of attracting the locust is to wait on the ground for the kcust to appear above the ground, when he greedily gobbles him up before he gets timA to sing his dying son;. JAPAN REFUSES ARMISTICE. Informs Roosevelt that Plenipotentiaries Must Meet First. Japan has Informed the United States that she will not agree to an armistice with Russii until the peace plenipotentiaries have met and found each o:her's credentials entirely satisfactory. : She would be willing to do so if a guarantee of some kind could be given her that Russia will negotiate a peace in good faith. The President's efforts to stop the fighting in Manchuria have thus met with a temporary check. So far as can be ascertained Russia has not asked for an armistice, and will not do so. She is in the same receptive mood she was when ' the President broached the Idea of peace. It is Jupan this time which is not welcoming the suggestion of an armistice. Marshal Oyama has a force greatly superior to that of Gen.- Linevitch. A tremendous victory will insure better terms for his country. Moreover, If hostilities should be stopped the Russians might continue to strengthen Gen. Linevitch. At present he has only sufficient re-enforcements to make up for the wastage due to death in battle or from disease. Japan's position has the sympathy of officers of the armf and navy in Washington. Its justice is also conceded by the administration. There s no way by which she can be -brought to adopt a different attitude. Germany and France have made polite representations at Tor kio in behalf of peace. Neither has gone, or dares to go, as far as the United States. Great Britain has asserted positively that she will not bring pressure to bear upon her ally. Cheap Labor and Institution. It" is estimated that In N3W York. City there are 100,000 respectable Englishspeaking families who are on the verge of destitution because of being crowded out of employment by the great volume of cheap European labor. The welfare of tis class of citizens has recently been interesting sociologists. They say that relief must come from some source or they will become a burden to the city. These families are of the class with -too much pride to ask for charity. Interesting News Items. Captain T. Bentley Mott, the retiring American military attache in Faris, has received the cross of the Legion of Honor from France. ' ' Mrs. Barclay II.

McConnell, of Hot Springs, Ark., was arrested and is said to have admitted extra-ting money orders from letters.

WEECKED "BY DESIGN.

FAST TRAIN DISASTER WORK OF A MISCREANT. Officials Declare a Maniac or riot Is to Blame for Catastrophe at MentorTwenty -Ilonr Schedule Will Be Resumed. - As a result of the wrecking of the twentieth century limited train at Mentor, Ohio, In which nineteen persons lost their lives, the railroad company will abandon its elghteen-hoar schedule b'etween New York and Chicago. The old schedule of twenty hours for the run will be resumed. Another development Is the charge that the wreck was caused through a plot or by some man who had a grudge against the railway or.some one aboard the flyer and deliberately threw the switch at Mentor. Declarations that the wreck oi the twentieth century limited train at Mentor, Ohio, was the result of a de.''berate plot were made by ofllclals of the railway. The switch was found open by Conductor Alexander Campbell of the flyer immediately after the wreck, and investigation showed that it had been locked open. What the motives were that Induced the persons charged with wrecking the train to throw open the switch are not hinted at by the railroad officials. ' As the Lake Shore officials Investigate the cause of the wreck and get the situation in band the conclusion is fixed more and more firmly that the sacrifice of lives was the work of a man who deliberately and maliciously threw the fatal switch for the purpose of wrecking the fast train. The railroad company has set in motion all the machinery of its powerful police organization to ferret out the man who is believed to have committed the murdeous act. While the abandonment, at least for the present, of the eighteen-hour sched ule is announced, observing people realize that what happened to the "fly er" might have happened to one of the so-called slow trains, and the result In the latter case, perhaps, would have been more disastrous than in the former because of the lighter equipment of the slow train. It is to be borne in mind that the "flyer" was wrecked not because it was going at high speed but because a switch had been left open. So far as speed is concerned, the results of a wreck are not much affect ed by a difference of a few miles per hour. The dangers of railroad travel are little affected by the scheduled speed of trains. There Is a certain element of peril that cannot be eliminated entirely, but that peril applies to the slowest as well as to the fastest trains. It was the open switch and not the high speed of the flyer that was responsible for the catastrophe at Men tor. WILL HAVE A SUMMER CAPITAL. Philippines to Be Given a Counterpar of India's Official Resort. The United States is to lay out a sum mer capital in tlft mountains, about 150 miles from Manila similar to Simla, the summer capital of India, to which the latter government is removed en masse on April 1 of every year, and remains until Nov. 1. Thus the government of India has a duplicate set of public offi ces, one in Calcutta and one in Simla. The books and records are moved back and forth every year, and the officials and their clerks and messengers make an annual migration. Most of thsm are thus required to keep up establishments in both cities. Thi3 has been found to be absolutely necessary to the health of the corps of officials and their families. It is impos sible foe white men to survive the summer climate of Calcutta, while In the winter Simla is buried under snow. The climate of Manila during the rainy season is similar to that of Calcutta, and is exceedingly trying. Few people can live there for two years in succession without suffering for it the rest of their lives, and the strongest of constitutions will break down ultimately. At present the only recourse Is to run up to Japan to escape the heat and the humidity of the summer, but that is too expensive a trip for men of ordinary incomes, and the government cannot afford - to give its employes th long loaves of absence that are necessary to make the journey. YY ithin five hours by railroad of Manila, however, is a climate as healthful and an atmosphere-as pure as that of Colorado Springs, or the Adirondacks. It is about 5,000 feet above the sea, surrounded by forests and bountifully supplied with pure spring water. It has been decided to build a summer capital there, and remove the entire gov ernment from Manila to Benguat dur ing, the. summer months. In order to do this it will be necessary to construct a number of buildings for official purposes and to build hotels, boarding houses, cottages and other quarters for the officials and their, families. Several of the officials have already erected houses there, and the medical corps of the army has established a sanitarium to which it sends convalescents from the military hospitals. Two or three of the mission ary boards have erected homes and asy lums for destitute and deserving invalids. but before any more of the land is taken up and any more buildings are erected it is considered desirible to lay out a city upon artistic lines. Telegraphic Brevities. Three men were killed and one mortal ly wounded in a feud fight at Palmetto, La. Omaha has received reports that the Hessian fly is doing great damage to Ne braska wheat V T..

The Methodist ministers of Philadel phia have resolved to demand that Gov. Pennypacker remove from office State Tnnf.ince Coranissioner Israel W. Dur ham, the Republican boss of "the City or Brotaeriy love. "

While labor trouble? dragged along, some recovery was made in making

Chicane deliveries and business generally reached a very high volume. Seasonable weather helped materially in the distribution of commodities, the retail lines being stimulated to largely Increased activity, and there was wellsustained demand in wholesale merchandise and in metal and wood products. Agricultural conditions made further satisfactory progress. Harvesting has extended aud this prompted heavier marekting of old crops, receipts here being more than expected, but, on the other hand, shipments from this port almost doubled those of last week and are CO per cent over these of corresponding week last year. Interior advices reflect widening demand for necessaries and country stores have good sales. Mercantile collections are prompt, the banks are fairly well loaned up and money is in steady request for commercial needs. Frimary foodstuffs continue in improved demand and Board of Trade operations have reached enlarged volume in both cash grain and provisions. Receipts of grain, 4,:J13,3G7 bushels, compared with 4,811,340 bushels a year ago, and the shipments were 4,673,124 bushels, against 2.930.4S7 bushels. Stocks of wheat were decreased, but the milling needs are light owing to poor export trade in flour. Hog-packing was larger than a year ago and there is ample available product for current requirements. Iive stock receipts were 287,503 head, against 275,393 head a year ago. , Failures reported in Chicago district number CO, against 19 last week and 20 a year ago. Distributive trade and crop developments, while still of an irregular char New York. acter, hold, and have perhaps added to the improvement mauifested last week, for which warmer weather is responsible. Sales of summer goods are more active and business for fall delivery appears well from all sections save Texas, where impaired wheat crop returns have a deterrent effect. Confidence in the future still continues. Export trade is good, railway earnings large, building active; steel mills engaged on the heavier forms of finished material will not close down this summer. The labor situation, though disturbed here and tnere, is on the whole a pleasant one. Crop prospects in general continue favorable, although corn conditions are spotted and the plant Is very much behind. Prices of all products still seem to favor the agricultural Interests. On the other hand, new business in industrial lines is less active. Firmness in cotton goods is a feature calling for note. Buyers are insistent for quick deliveries. Reorder business with jobbers has been fairly good, especially at the West. Wheat, Including flour, exports for the week ending June 13 are GSS.017 bushels, against 1,47G,S40 last week; 2.044,231 this week last year, 3,G17,413 in 1903 and 3,S00,G34 in 1902. From July 1 to date the exports are 00,691,2S7 bushels, against 131,472,712 last yoar, 160,878,436 in 1903 and 240,760,557 in 1902.

A surprisingly interesting and perhaps unfortunate situation is revealed by the publication by the State superintendent of public instruction of the State school enumeration. The principal fact revealed is that the cities show enormous increases while the townships or "country school districts" show decreases. The cause is unknown. Another fact is that the colored enumeration is increasing while the white is decreasing. Figures speak pretty well fur themselves. Therefore the following make the situation clearer than words: Total school enumeration in 19J3, 768,432; in 1904. 708,842; a decrease for the State of 410. Total country school enumeration in 1903, 431.KJ9; in 1904, 439,811, a decrease of over 8,000. Total enumeration in towns, 1903, 67,158; in 103-4. 63,375. Total enumeration ia cities, 1905. 269,275; in 1904. 262.6-S8, an increase of almost 7,000. The total colored school children enumeration is 13.562 for 1903 and 13.408 for 1904, an increase of 154. Of the sixty most important agricultural counties of the State all show large decreases. The other thirtytwo counties contain the larger cities and towns. It remained for one county Warren to have exactly the same number of school children in 1903 as in 1104. The figures for both years totaled 3.080. The following is the total enumeration for 1904 and 1905 in the counties with the largest population: County. 1004. Marlon ro.S7ß ."2.47 Allen 24.7SI) Vanderhurg 3. Vigo . HO.047 L'1.4J.1 St. Joseph '0,?w7 l,tK5 The decrease in Vanderburg county is not real. In this county the charge was made and sustained that in 1904 the school enumeration figures were padded. This year's figures are vouched for by the superintendent of public instruction. So that a comparison in - Vanderburg county should not be made. NEW COMMANDER G. A. R. Marine D. Tackett Was Born in Decatur County In 1842. Marine D. Tackett of Greensburg. who was elected State commander of the Grand Army of the Republic on the first ballot at Madison the other day, was born on a farm in Decatur county Oct. 26, 1842, the son of Ilenry Tackett, one of the pioneers.

STARVED TO DEATH. Was the Fate of 300 Citizens of ln diana in 1904. ''Three hundred and six persons in Indiana starved to death last year." Such was the startling statement of Dr. Hurty, secretary of the Indiana board of health, in announcing health statistics for the State for the past year. He declared that these starvation cases were partly due to impure food. There were a total of 1,828 accidental deaths, 2S3 suicides, 132 poisonings, OG shootings, 29 hangings and 16 drownings. The increase in the number of suicides is thirty per cent and forty per cent increase in deaths from pneumonia is shown. The deaths from diphtheria decreased thirty per cent Among Oar Neighbor. The American Malt Cream Company of South Bend has been purchased by the Studebaker interests for $21,000 a the receivers' sale. Trouble in Roonville municipal affair caused -another resignation, that of Gus Rif ter, the Democratic city treasurer. The town board elected Edward llazen to fill the vacancy. Others may resign. John M. Johnson of South Bend, who won a prize of $3,000 offered by his grandfather, J. M. Studebaker, Sr., for abstaining from the use of liquor until he became 21 years old, celebrated the receipt of the gift, with a dinner party to members of the family.
